Nazi conception of law
Extent and Medium
2 online resources (2, 40 pages)
Scope and Content
The files contain information on the conception of law in Nazi Germany. According to the documents, international and generally recognized principles will only be recognized by Germany if they correspond to the legal concepts of the German people. They would be approved not due to their international nature but solely because they are basic moral ideas of the German law. An important principle in Nazi law is considered: German law is what serves the German people. If according to the "Fuehrer" the purpose of the party is the preservation of the German kind, then law is regarded for the party as everything that supports the preservation of the German kind. The documents also contain lists of people sentenced on offences against price regulations.
